Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. PRIMO LEVI SAID: I hope the reader will be indulgent toward the extreme dispersion of themes, tones, and angles of approach that he will find in this collection. My justification is: the 'pieces' are situated in an arc of time that is close to a quarter of a century, the time of my almost total fidelity to LA STAMPA: and in twenty-five years many things change, inside us and around us. Furthermore, they are conditioned by my intrinsic libertinage, in part willed, in part due to the itinerary fate has reserved for me; I've drunk at various founts and breathed different airs, some salutary, others quite polluted. . . I'm a normal man with a good memory who fell into a maelstrom and got out of it more by luck than by virtue, and who from that time on has preserved a certain curiosity about maelstroms large and small, metaphorical and actual. This from Primo Levi's introduction to THE MIRROR MAKER, his collection of short stories and essays. CLEAN AND TIGHT TEXTBLOCK, and the protected jacket is only lightly worn. Not price clipped.

First printing of a large format hardback in landscape format, beautifully produced by Nostalgia Press, with special care to reproduce the stunning line work of Alex Raymond. The cloth cover is beautifully gilt stamped with Alex Raymond's signature and the title. The endpapers are gorgeous. Taking the age into consideration this has few flaws; a former owner's signature, which is neat and dated '1967' is on the half title, and which dates this rather neatly; there are some slight foxing spots; the cover is complete but it has some fairly insignificant losses, chips and creases, but it is essentially complete and now protected. A super collectable of a true classic. Large format, very heavy, this might need extra postage charges depending on destination. Language: eng.
